Hey Anton, great video. Just a couple suggestions for your future oil changes and for others that may see this comment. In the beginning, when you take off the oil cap, it's really easy to get dirt and grime inside the oil fill neck from the cover if you remove the cover after the oil cap... it's really best to pull the cover off before the oil cap to prevent stuff from getting inside the engine. Another thing, when you put the oil filter on, you had the right idea to lubricate the new filter with engine oil, but it's actually the black rubber gasket on the outside edge that needs the oil, not the inside. The things I mentioned are really not a big deal, just future information for you. I'm buying a Q5 with the 2.0T soon and this video was really helpful for me to understand the layout of everything on the Q5, I currently have a MK6 GTI with the same engine but it's transverse-mounted instead of longitudinal. Thanks again for the great video!

I suck at oil changes! - Take oil extractor and suck it through the dipstick tube. Replace the filter and fill it with fresh oil - that's all!

[@drwaz]

Thanks for this video. Just got a 2016 Q5 and the dealership forgot to do the oil change so its on me and I'm not used to these fancy German cars. Very detailed. Bravo

[@drblaney22]

Nice job my friend. Thank you for posting!!!

[@thatladylike]

This was great! Thank you so much.

[@tapstring2]

Appreciate the video. For the benefit if others, I changed my oil for the first on my used 2018 SQ5 2.0(not suction method)and only needed a philips to remove the under carriage

[@annabelliesmango]

Great video! Doing this Saturday!

[@Snowdog216]

Good info thanks. Regarding the oil filter wrench tool, the 76 is the MM and the 14 is number of flutes (flat spots). This part comes up on FCP EURO as 74mm and 14, and shows it fits a q5. Check your own fitment, this is just for reference. FCP EURO. Engine Oil Filter Socket - CTA 2464

[@ismaelrodrigueziii6398]

Excellent video! Thank you!!

[@redmondlip8760]

Great video ... You mention that it did not have the dipstick but if you look on the side of the filter there's a little round knob like a plug that you can pull out( That plug is to decrease the oil in the engine) wich you could use a vacuum suction to suck all the oil out engine and oil pan

[@lbrastaman]

Nice video. Thank you

[@kevinmantz]

Awesome video - thanks for putting together. No longer paying $160 or $300 for an oil change that’s easier on my Q5 than any of my other vehicles where they charge me less to change it!

[@elroz1675]

were you able to also do it without ramps? I'm impressed with this video - no ramps! I want to try this.

[@AltonCrawford]

Elroz - Audi Q5, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes C250 oil change are all performed in the driveway.

[@handmadebynepal]

Good video, most oio filters they only recommend hand tightening, but i understand being careful.

[@BunchieVI]

Very clear and informative 💪🏽 keep it up bro.. good video

Nice! You did without ramps 👏

[@DeRock401]

This is the video I watched to learn how to do my own oil change on my Audi. I have this same car, but I use a pump and suction the oil from up top cuz the filter is up top there’s really no need to go under the car. Just takes a little longer

[@elroz1675]

@@DeRock401 I might do that as well. It was a bit messy for me when I drained it from the bottom. But still good to know I can do it both ways now.

[@SarinasandCo]

Great video !!! Thanks Arlo

[@Lennox1492]

Great video

[@jamesli9592]

Excellent Video! Clear and to the point. With 5qtr of 5w40 oil Castro Synthetic oil (Walmart), and $12 OEM oil filter(Audi dealership), I just saved my self over $100 compare to what dealership will charge if they change the oil. Any chance you will be doing a brake pad change video on the Q5?

[@vincentperry3612]

Great Video!

Vincent - I appreciate the encouraging note. Thank you.

Elodie. It's a great profile picture of the 2 of you. Congrats. Love is a beautiful thing

[@haljackson4064]

Great video I just had my wifes Q5 oil changes at our Audi dealer. She has a 2013 Q5 that we bought new. When I took her car in they said you are due for your 8 year service so I said whats that. They said we do your oil and filer in cab filer and change your brake fluid. I said why do you change the brake fluid and he said over time you get condensate which jells your brake fluid because of condensation, I live where we only get five inches of rain a year plus my wifes car only has 35,000 miles on it, I said no just oil and filter is all I want. After watching your video I'll be changing the oil next year

[@AltonCrawford]

Speaking of oil changes, I got to change mind today as well. You want to make sure the oil is warm before proceeding.

[@Cstoreri]

Flush the brake fluid already!

[@tonymonti9919]

Greetings from Germany. Thx a lot for the great Video. I gave "Audi Q5 Oil change" (in german) on Ytube and Ur Video came out first 3 ones. Thx to Ur Video I will change it first time on my own. Should I fill new Oil at the end, or just turn the key and ... cry ;-)) Thx again 👍

[@350nismo07]

How did you reset your inspection due alerts?

[@mariamontenegro4652]

excellent !!

[@gregtwitty4905]

Where is the replacement crush washer on the drain plug?

[@biigsmokee]

I'd like to emphasize that he did NOT rotate the oil filter clockwise to loosen it but counter clockwise.

[@yungez621]

What oil did you use?

[@lionking22222]

Great Video. I think this is same for 2015 Q5. I think I can do a better job than a mechanic. Since I'm out of the free service interval now, I'll be doing my own oil changes and all the air filters as well. Thanks for this video. Very good.

[@sylvesterholmes2505]

Does changing your own oil affect your warranty on a certified pre-owned vehicle

[@Tdfries]

@@sylvesterholmes2505 I think there are certain consumer protection laws that allow afford you the ability to work on your own vehicle for certain maintenance/repairs without voiding the warranty... but I think you have to maintain records of each service as proof that it was completed. I personally would get everything done by a trusted mechanic if I had an existing warranty on a vehicle.

[@DeRock401]

Crazy how Audi charges 300$ to do this lol

[@AltonCrawford]

No. It does not. You 2ill 2ant to make sure you keep all your receipts

[@AltonCrawford]

Insane. Thusnis the very reason I started doing it all my self.

[@kevinwoods3395]

Hope you did put the oil in.... I did not see you do it.

[@AltonCrawford]

Kevin The oil is one of the most important components. You're right. Some will forget to replace the oil.

[@ClearThirty]

😂😂😂😂

[@DeRock401]

How’s the Castrol compare to liquiMolly

[@AltonCrawford]

I have never done Molly, but I have heard it can help to liven up any party.

[@geeb9668]

I watched to get the type filter, type and quantity of oil and nothing was mentioned. Otherwise good video but don't forget the parts if you ever so another tutorial.

[@cahbee123]

Great video... but way to many advertisements.

[@AltonCrawford]

Russell. Thank you! I will address that in future videos. By the way, I enjoyed the Grand Canyon Video.

[@wesleyp8566]

Why not save time and use an oil extractor?

[@davea4037]

Hand tight means tightening with your hand........not cranking it down with a ratchet and socket. That filter is on way too tight.

[@SooDoNimm]

Does your q5 consume oil?

[@michaelkahn3694]

I have a 2015 Q5 TDI, lost a quart over about 9 months of fairly low mileage driving. No drips on driveway.

[@DanielGuzman83]

My 2022 does. My 2018 A4 never did

[@helmutkuffer5331]

my audi q5 needs so much oil... 1 liter per 1000 km, thats too much

[@alg4633]

The crush washer on the Drain Plug should be replaced with EACH oil change. The drain plug needs to be Torqued to specification using a Torque wrench. He failed to mention the oil can BURN you if it is too hot and you do not have gloves on. On the 3.0T, there are rubber O-Rings which need to be replaced on the Oil Filter when you replace it and the Filter is a cartridge. The Filter should be Torqued to specification as well; Also, make it a habit to check all your other fluids while you are at it such as Coolant, Brake, Washer, etc.

[@halluk1]

Torgue wrench and all torque values are so important ! You cant ignore that

[@priyavartswami7851]

How much oil fill 🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅

[@altoncrawford1938]

5.8

[@gratefuldale117]

4.8 for the 2.0 and 6.8 for the 3.0. Never wrench down screw in/on oil filters. Always torque EVERY nut, bolt and fastener to spec. if you are not mechanically experienced you are asking for stripped threads or oppositely, things lossening/leaking. And ALWAYS replace oil drain plug gasket every oil change. You can buy the correct oil for around $30/5qts, filter (audi/vw) for $10-20 & several plug gaskets for $5-7. The torx/tools pay for themselves on second sel service! There are many KZbin videos giving fully professional walk thrus. I give this one credit just to show this is NOT some scary nor difficult job for those physically able. $60 vs $130+ at your mechanic/mantainence shop. NEVER USE JIFFY LUBE OR FIRESTONE TYPE PLACES.

[@kvaughn9]

If you need to inform anyone how to open the hood or even how to take off the engine shroud, they should not be changing any oil on this vehicle or any other.

[@Jdmcavy]

I know how to change oil on these older cars but anymore they want you to waste money on shops instead of diy

[@halluk1]

Torgue wrench and all torque values are so important ! You cant ignore that. Very bad example for others .

[@AltonCrawford]

Halluk - One oil change completed and getting ready to perform the next. I'm saving money in the process. I have not experienced one problem, oil leak, or warning light. Additionally I have taken the 5 to an Audi dealer since the change for a radiator leak which was covered under warranty. I see you are an active member of the KZbin community. I would encourage you to perform and record a change of oil on your Audi. We would love for you to share.

[@Tdfries]

@@AltonCrawford While a torque wrench can be important for other things... as long as you're not cranking down on the oil drain plug or just finger tightening it, the car will be fine. I personally use a torque wrench and torque to spec for the oil drain plug, but watching the video you looked just fine (not too much torque and not too little). I wouldn't worry about what that guy said. Nothing wrong with DIY to save some cash, especially doing something as easy as an oil change!

[@Cstoreri]

Mechanics hardly torque anything to spec ! Of course very specific stuff like putting an engine together they do but most things they know by feel from experience!

[@Trump908]

Way to much talking!

Good video for showing locations, but you need to leave your oil changes to a mechanic.

[@DIYDharma]

Why? What would a mechanic do differently? Thanks.

[@ShrimpCracka]

oil changes is def one of the things any average joe can do to save himself quite a bit of money.

[@geeb9668]

One of the easiest ways to save money on maintenance, especially on a luxury car. Dealer charges about $200. What would a mechanic do that you can't or wouldn't do? Nonsense!!!

[@Tdfries]

In my experience, mechanics (even professional dealerships) have fucked up my vehicles more than anything. Professional mechanics are paid to get the job done faster than the flat rate but then charge the flat rate, that's how they make more money on the repair. Because of this, they tend to cut corners and forget things while rushing. When I do my own repairs or maintenance, I can take my time and triple check everything. I can do a much better job than any dealership mechanic because I have more time.

[@juanpuga5179]
